Guardian 26037 by Gordius 27 Aug 2013 | 01:12 pm
Back after the Bank holiday sunshine and an 8 hour trip to Felixstowe (don’t ask). Not sure how many Gordius puzzles I’ve done let alone blogged, there’s one or two clues where I’m a little uncertain ...
Independent 8,383 / Hob 27 Aug 2013 | 12:00 pm
It is Tuesday today and it falls to me to bog Hob’s latest puzzle, my second opportunity to do so in the last two months. I found this a quirky and thoroughly entertaining puzzle. It was obvious from ...
Financial Times N° 14,402 by Neo 27 Aug 2013 | 06:26 am
The puzzle may be found at http://media.ft.com/cms/98819eac-0439-11e3-8aab-00144feab7de.pdf. A rather gentle puzzle, I think. In view of this, I have given more detail in the explanations than I might...
Guardian Quiptic 719/Pan 26 Aug 2013 | 12:28 pm
A fine puzzle from Pan. Full of charades, anagrams, hidden answers and insertions, with nary a cryptic or double definition in sight (well, maybe just one …) Just what a Quiptic should be. Abbr...
Independent 8382/Quixote 26 Aug 2013 | 11:45 am
Another sound as a pound Quixote Monday offering. When I’m trying to persuade friends to get beyond the ‘Oh, I can’t do cryptics’ stage and have a go, I always recommend Quixote on a Monday, the Ever...
Guardian Cryptic N° 26,036 by Logodaedalus 26 Aug 2013 | 07:42 am
The puzzle may be found at http://www.theguardian.com/crosswords/cryptic/26036. I cannot recall having blogged a Logodaedalus before (he has not had one published for nearly two years), and it is a bi...
Everyman N°3,489 (18 August 2013) 25 Aug 2013 | 04:01 am
The puzzle may be found at http://www.theguardian.com/crosswords/everyman/3489. Everyman in top form, producing a couple of splendid anagrams, sparkling surfaces, the odd more complex clue structure, ...
Independent on Sunday 1226/Commoner 25 Aug 2013 | 04:01 am
It’s the first time I’ve blogged a Commoner puzzle, although I think he has had a few published in the IoS before. I really enjoyed this one: there was some quite complicated wordplay, but it was all...
Azed 2150/standard fare 25 Aug 2013 | 04:01 am
Sitting on the dock by the bay as we speak. But in Seattle waiting for a flight to the San Juans. Where I will have no internet access. Fairly easy standard fare from the master. No quibbles. For...
Guardian Prize 26,029 / Enigmatist 24 Aug 2013 | 04:02 am
Enigmatist puzzles are rather few and far between these days, so this was a welcome return to the prize slot. On the whole, I didn’t find it quite so tortuous as his puzzles often are – maybe he’s sav...
